The Walhalla at Regensburg PRESS RELEASE Sunset in illustrious company The Walhalla at Regensburg Occupying a majestic position overlooking the Danube Valley of Regensburg: The Walhalla monument. This hall of fame is just ten kilometres from the gates of the UNESCO World Heritage City. It is one of the most popular destinations for visitors to Regensburg and local residents, young and old. For the people of Regensburg, the Walhalla performs the same role as the Isar in Munich: A meeting place, where people spend days and evenings, picnicking, laughing, talking and simply enjoying the views of the idyllic Danube plain. The Danube meanders gently through fertile green floodplains, while tourist steamers and working barges float by serenely. Cornfields reach to the river’s edge, alongside lush meadows and the red-brown rooftops of tiny hamlets. Overhead, an endless blue and white sky. City temptation in an idyllic pastoral landscape A perfect summer’s day starts with breakfast in Regensburg’s medieval alleys, continues with a dip in a lake - either the Sarchinger Weiher or the Guggenberger See - and culminates on the steps of the Walhalla with a spectacular sunset – or much later under an equally romantic starry sky. Visitors and locals of all ages mull over the impressions of the day as they enjoy a light meal. There is chatting and laughter, a music student strums a guitar. A young woman uncorks a bottle of red wine with a satisfying “pop” - perhaps a local “Baierwein”? Back in medieval times, vines really did grow where the Walhalla was built over 180 years ago. In the smallest wine growing region of Germany, some intrepid winemakers still continue the old traditions to this day. A place that brings people together Whether or not they are spurred on by the wine, locals and visitors strike up conversations on the steps of the Walhalla. Tips are exchanged and contacts made, people laugh, chat or simply sit in companionable silence. Young people bring rugs to - 1 - lie on, eager hikers puff and pant after the strenuous uphill climb. This romantic backdrop is the perfect setting for couples in love. The Walhalla is a place that brings people together. Exactly what its builder, the Bavarian King Ludwig I, would have wanted. Whether you are travelling by bike, narrow gauge railway or car: The Walhalla is just half an hour from Regensburg. The old town of Regensburg is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is Germany’s only authentically preserved medieval city. With its churches, historic buildings and squares, it is far more than simply a piece of accessible history: Countless shops, cafes and inns make it a pleasant place to linger and turn every alley into a lively mix of modern urbanity and living history. Living history – that is also what the Walhalla is all about. The architect of the Classical period, Leo von Klenze, drew his inspiration from the Parthenon, the famous temple on Athens’ Acropolis. He laid the foundation stone on 18th October 1830. Twelve years passed until his client - none other than King Ludwig I - officially opened the hall of fame. The visitor has to climb 358 steps in order to stand in front of the giant entry portal. This leads into a wide hall, clad in elegant marble. Here you find yourself face-to-face with 130 marble busts. It is a whirlwind tour through German history, which has not yet come to an end: There is still space for four more busts.

  • Friedrich Schiller - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Friedrich Schiller - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Friedrich Schiller(10 November 1759 – 9 May 1805) Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller was a German poet, philosopher, historian, and playwright. During the last seventeen years of his life, Schiller struck up a productive, if complicated, friendship with already famous and influential <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/johann-wolfgang-von- goethe/">Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe</a>. They frequently discussed issues concerning aesthetics, and Schiller encouraged Goethe to finish works he left as sketches. This relationship and these discussions led to a period now referred to as Weimar Classicism. They also worked together on Xenien, a collection of short satirical poems in which both Schiller and Goethe challenge opponents to their philosophical vision. <b>Life</b> Friedrich Schiller was born on 10 November 1759, in Marbach, Württemberg as the only son of military doctor Johann Kaspar Schiller (1733–96), and Elisabeth Dorothea Kodweiß (1732–1802). They also had five daughters. His father was away in the Seven Years' War when Friedrich was born. He was named after king Frederick the Great, but he was called Fritz by nearly everyone. Kaspar Schiller was rarely home during the war, but he did manage to visit the family once in a while. His wife and children also visited him occasionally wherever he happened to be stationed. When the war ended in 1763, Schiller's father became a recruiting officer and was stationed in Schwäbisch Gmünd. The family moved with him. Due to the high cost of living—especially the rent—the family moved to nearby Lorch.

  • Teaching the Age of Revolutions 2018
    Teaching the Age of Revolutions HA Teacher Fellowship Programme 2018 (Secondary) Ben Walsh Week 4: What were the wider consequences of the Napoleonic Wars? For Week 4 the focus was on the impact of the Napoleonic wars. In recent times, scholars have been emphasising the far reaching effects of these wars. The Fellows were asked to consider some points set out by Dr Ben Marsh of the University of Kent about the wars: Confrontation of larger armies than have taken the field for centuries Regime change, bloodshed, and economic malaise feed off one another Mass conscription and participation brings new styles to global warfare Advances made in technology, recruitment, training, and organisation French pioneer artillery and new infantry formations to great effect British and allies struggle to contain Napoleon but avoid knockout until 1812 Von Clausewitz constructs new theory of war on basis of experiences The Fellows were then asked to suggest how they might use the Battle of Waterloo as a hook to help students to think more widely about the context and impact of the Napoleonic Wars: You can do this by focussing on the domestic impact in Britain or look more widely at the European context. Begin by using the knowledge of Waterloo you gained on the residential and broaden your thinking using the suggested resources below. Your plan should focus on the consequences of the Napoleonic Wars. Some of the Fellows considered ways of giving the Battle a wider and deeper context than they might normally consider, drawing on up to sate scholarship to support this: As Mather's article notes, Napoleon had threatened to invade Britain, but this was not the only reason for the British to become involved in a war against the French.

  • The Art History of Handbooks and Anachronic Icons
    Issue No. 4/2020 1842 – The Art History of Handbooks and Anachronic Icons Dan Karlholm, Professor of Art History, Södertörn University, Stockholm Also published in Susanna Pettersson (ed.), Inspiration – Iconic Works. Ateneum Publications Vol. 132. Helsinki: Finnish National Gallery / Ateneum Art Museum, 2020. Transl. Bettina Schultz, 87–96 On 18 October 1842 the Greek temple high above the Bavarian river bed was completed. Floating by on the Danube you can lift your gaze and see what looks like a sparkling white version of the Parthenon temple on the Acropolis in Athens. The aim of Ludwig I of Bavaria in having it built was to create a worthy space for the German spirit, founded on the German- speaking countries’ linguistic community in the wake of the humiliating war against France. Its architect Leo von Klenze (1784–1864), who also designed the Glyptothek and Alte Pinakothek in Munich, wanted to let the outer grandeur of this monument, this Walhalla outside Regensburg, mirror its inner, spiritual greatness1 – Doric temple on the outside, the home of the Old Norse gods by name, and on the inside a memorial dedicated to German intellectuals. Initially, around 170 neoclassical marble busts lined the walls but the number has increased over time and continues to increase.2 A monument, memorial, heathen temple, as well as a kind of deifying museum for dead white Germans. The reason why this ‘hall of fame’ was received with mixed feelings was probably above all aesthetic. Something felt wrong with this pastiche, even for many of those who believed that the Germanic spirit was based on the Greek.
